Suspension on other Grand Cherokee years
Report counts are for each model year on its own, so a newer car has had less time to collect them. Model years with too few reports of it for a sheet: 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2022, 2024, 2025, 2026.
What this problem usually is
Suspension complaints are mostly about noise and handling: a clunk over bumps, a car that pulls to one side, a ride that bounces or leans more than it used to. The more serious reports describe a part breaking or coming loose, and that's where the recalls in this group are concentrated.
What got replaced
Few of these reports name the part that was replaced.

Is this a known problem?
The manufacturer has sent NHTSA 8 service bulletins or notices for the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee that deal with this problem. Newest first.

“Rear shocks leaked all fluid and the vehicle became very hard to control on rough surfaces. Had the shocks changed and the new ones did the same thing within one month. Now the shocks are on back order and had to be replaced with aftermarket shocks.”

Should you keep driving it?
This page can't tell you that. 3 of 29 reports involved a crash. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.
